II. Geometric Distributions
Practice
1. Felix is a quarterback for the Raleigh Rangers. After analyzing his game stats, he determines that the
probability that he completes a pass is 44%.
a. During the next game, what is the probability that he throws 3 incomplete passes before he has a
completion?
b. What is the probability that it takes more than 5 attempts for him to complete a pass?
2. A breakfast cereal manufacturer has an incentive program for people to buy its product: in each box of
cereal, one toy of a cartoon character is included. Any one of five different toys can be enclosed in the
boxes and the total number of toys of each character is the same. One of the characters is Snoopy.
a. How many boxes should I expect to buy before I get a Snoopy toy?
b. What is the probability I get a Snoopy toy in my first box?
c. What is the probability that it takes fewer than 3 boxes for me to get Snoopy?
d. What is the probability that it takes more than 7 boxes for me to get Snoopy?
3. Lady is a dog who loves to play catch. Unfortunately, she isn't very good. The probability that she
catches a ball on any given throw is 0.1.
a.
What is the probability that it will take exactly two tosses for her to catch a ball?
b. What is the probability that more than three tosses will be required?
4. Assume that 13% of people are left-handed. If we select 10 people at random, what is the probability
that our first lefty is the 5th person chosen?
